ConnectionResetError

built-in exceptions

The connection was reset by the peer (a subclass of ConnectionError).

Syntax

raise ConnectionResetError

This is the ECONNRESET errno: the peer tore down an already-established connection with an RST — it crashed, restarted, or a proxy dropped an idle keep-alive. The common mistake is assuming the request never went through: bytes may already have been sent and received, so think about whether the operation is idempotent before retrying. Writing into such a socket often raises BrokenPipeError instead.

Examples

try:
    raise ConnectionResetError
except ConnectionResetError as e:
    print(type(e).__name__)   # → ConnectionResetError
